Fallen Birches

This is a painting I had started a while ago from sketches and photographs that I had taken the last time I visited my aunt's cottage on Lac-Sergent, Quebec.

It is fairly close to Lac-Blanc where I spent many hours as a child catching tadpoles and minnows; exploring the area with its many abandoned charcoal huts on the edge of the lake.

The trees around this small, shallow lake had grown a lot since I was there as a child, but the peace and quiet only disturbed by the sound of the bull frogs still remained.

This original 10-1/2" x 15" framed watercolour is available for 235.00.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and look at the artwork. I hope you will return often.

Movement

Today I just wanted to play with colour and what better way than with a limited palette on an abstract?

For this painting I used white, black, alizarin crimson and burnt sienna and applied the paint with a palette knife.














It created some interesting effects and has some movement going through the painting.

This original 8" x 10" acrylic painting will be available when framed for $135.00.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork.

The Ones That Got Away

This is a painting I started a while ago (see postings on 08 July 2010, 31 October 2011 and 16 July 2012)and every so often I have been adding things to get it completed.














I added some shadows to the lures to give more of an illusion of roundness.

This original 10-1/2" x 11-1/4" watercolour painting when framed will be available for $345.00.

Out Buildings

This is a small sketch of some of the out buildings on the first horse farm we used to live at many years ago.












This original 3" x 5" framed pen and ink drawing is available for $125.00.

Winter Twilight - Reworked

I have had this small painting for a while (see post 19 September 2010) and decided that it need a few more details added.

I darkened the foreground trees and give them more definition, then put some additional growies beneath their lower limbs to give the painting a little more colour.

This is another painting I will set aside to go to Algonquin for next month; it will be available for $85.00.

Buckhorn Artists' Group Blog - Show Updates

I have updated the Buckhorn Artists' Group blog with a listing of shows some of the various artists in the Group are exhibiting their work in during the month of September.

If you get a chance come out and visit them at one or all of the shows.

Buggy

This framed 4" x 6" original pen and ink sketch is available for $135.00.

This is a sketch of a buggy found on Selwyn Road close to Highway 507 (now known as the Buckhorn Road).

It is used as a lawn ornament and is decorated for the spring, summer and autumn season, but when winter approaches it is put into storage and well maintained.

It is in kept in excellent condition and could easily be pulled by a horse on the roadways.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork and I hope you will return often.
